The holotype (NHMUK IA 16521) from the Silurian-aged (Wenlock)?Patrick Burn Formation in Scotland ( Anderson, 1999) was originally thought to have an LCE on the left side of the prosomal shield ( Currie, 1927). However, we report no conclusive evidence of LCEs and only weakly defined ophthalmic ridges ( Fig. 2C, D). Documentation of the more recently studied Cyamocephalus cf. loganensis specimen from the Late Silurian (Ludlow)?Ludlow Group in England (NHMUK IA 25) shows no evidence for LCEs ( Anderson, 1999). We confirm the lack of LCEs and note that this specimen has more pronounced ophthalmic ridges than the holotype ( Fig. 2A, B).
